preface that society IS becoming pous will be
disappointed when they learn that the new

solely with the rhetorical and oratorical posi-
bilties of its stately language in view. It is
understood that young society man, who quite
distinguished himself as amateur reader of
Browning, has studied the Psalms this summer
for the purpose OF reading them TO the ears stated

the reading season which usually dates from

for some years past, but perhaps this impression
Is simply owing to the fact of their novelty. A
good many changes are to be signalized during
the coming season. Plated waists will be much
worn In soft, pIable materials. The basque
will almost wholly disappear, corsages being cut
pointed at the waist. or in some instances round
with girde. These new styles are only
suited to slender forms. a very short basque
will be conceded to the corsage OF any dress in
tended for o stout. short wasted wearer.
Some OF the new sleeves are laid in pleats in
round melon shape to the elbow,
finishing in close fitting coat sleeve
from the elbow TO the waist. This style Is
pecialiy advantageous when the dress is in two
materials. the top of the sleeve being in the plain
etuff, and the lower part in that which is figured

and at the wrist, cashmere Grape
